Alternatively, you could stop using Google and use Kagi ( https://kagi.com ), which offers the same feature. :)

Being using it through the beta and moved toward their annual subscription :)

Also you can give more importance to some website in the search result, create your own search template.

It's so feature rich, and to make things easier they provide and extension to set your default search engine for you.

I have yet to find any competitor which provides its own results and is even 50% as good as Google's results.

Features are nice, but for a search engine results are everything.

Beat me to it!

Kagi also goes one step further and allows you to "pin" sites to the top. For example, I've got MDN pinned, so whenever I'm searching for web stuff they're the top result, even if there's an SEO'd blog post that normally would have come first.

Abandoning Google is a huge motivator for me, but this feature set is why it's my primary search engine. Google tries to guess what I want and just ends up feeding me the same garbage it feeds everyone else. Kagi allows me to correct it when it guesses wrong. That makes all the difference.
